“the soul of conversation is sympathy”

“Like deathbed conversions, last paragraph soul-saving does not convince.”

“No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness, and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.”

“All writers pen sad stories to garner sympathy, writing is after all for the abandoned of the society: the ink-leech, spewing black blood and sucking innocent souls.”

“There is in souls a sympathy with sounds:And as the mind is pitch'd the ear is pleasedWith melting airs, or martial, brisk or grave;Some chord in unison with what we hearIs touch'd within us, and the heart replies.”

“We've had this conversation before, but humor me. How many people in this room have a soul? A shot at heaven, or whatever there is after this life.”
